Hi Grasshopper,

Thank you very much for the information.

Yes I do mean VB.Net. I also used VB for Applications with Word & Excel during my business career but have now retired due to health issues.

I have Visual Studio 2010 which I purchased sometime ago but until now, haven't had the time to use it.

Hopefully, now I will be able to get my head around it by concentrating VB.Net with ADO.Net and SQL Server Express 2008.

I haven't looked at the Web link you have kindly provided - but that will be my next point of call following posting this reply.

Once again - many thanks for your kind assistance,

Kind Regards

Clive
